| To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom
lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture
of f2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras.* The large circular
aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background
blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens
construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver
impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image
Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement
so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring
clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM,
inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus
quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing,
manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.
